Collen Future Fit Sports Coach Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Hey All, I want to let you know by experiment I have connected my heart rate monitor, bike cadence, power and speed of my Garmin 920XT to a WATTBIKE at Virgin Active Gyms. To my delightful surprise I have great output on Garmin Connect and even Strava. So if you ever wondered about this all, give it a try.
BuffsVintageBikes Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 That is very neat I tried connecting Zwift on iOS to the Wattbike last night but for the life of me could not get it to connect. Any idea if there's a specific sequence to follow?
dave303e Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 you can do it without the watch easily as well hey.Wattbike hub app links to wattbike via bluetooth, the bike will link to your heartrate strap and then you can get the workout from wattbike hub and upload to garmin connect afterwards.
Ferret69 Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Been linking them for a few years now, well ever since watt Bikes were introduced to VA gyms.. You can also link most models of the Gamin Edge's as well as the ForeRunners and Fenix models. Just the Edges you have to manually enter the WattBike code (then you can store a few on the 800), when the others pick up the codes automatically when you start to pedal and hold them in memory for future usage.

Dexter-morgan Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Yip my old FR410 gets the bikes sensor pretty easy.

Collen Future Fit Sports Coach Posted February 6, 2017 Author Posted February 6, 2017 How did you do it?Go on to the watt bike and the Ant+ settings, make a note of the Wattbike ID, then on your Garmin, go to indoor cycling, then navigate to the settings / sensors, select the power and pair it, then pair the speed and cadence sensor. That's the 3 you needs. Lastly, go to the Heart rate set on the Watt bike and pair your HRM.... you are done.... The best is to do it when there's NO ONE around on the other bikes as you may just pickup their setting.
Pure Savage Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 You dont even need a garmin, just a usb stick, jam it in the back and it saves your ride there to export to garmin later.

I can't actually input the id and it picked up other bikes. But thanks for the instructions. In the end I went with the wattbike hub app - I see it's been updated to allow connections to training peaks and strava. Problem is you can't take your phone with you if you need a pee half way through the session - it looses the first half of your session.... grrrrr
